Looking through the top new Netflix shows and movies this week, I've found a few gems on the streaming service that are a must-watch.
The clear top title this week is "Black Mirror." The British anthology series has been a hit for Netflix ever since the show moved there in 2016.
Now, in season 7, you'll have to stop yourself from binging all six episodes right away. Particularly "USS Callister: Into Infinity," the hotly anticipated follow-up to the season 4 episode "USS Callister."
Aside from that, it's a relatively quiet week, but there are still some shows and movies worth checking out. If you love an interview show, don't miss the latest batch of "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman" episodes, which drop on Tuesday.
For more to watch, read on for my top picks, a full list of everything new on Netflix this week and the scoop on what's leaving Netflix this week.
If you need more, check out our guide to everything new to Netflix in April or this new crime thriller, which is one of our staff's favorite Netflix shows of the year so far.
New on Netflix this week: Top picks
'Black Mirror' season 7
"Black Mirror" may have started on the British network Channel 4, but in 2016, it became one of Netflix's earliest hit original shows. Now, it's back for season 7 with six new episodes.
If you're a fan of the series, you should be excited. One of the new episodes this season will be a sequel to the acclaimed season 4 opener, “USS Callister," which marks the first time two "Black Mirror" episodes will directly connect.
But if you've never seen "Black Mirror" before, don't panic. As an anthology series, you don't need to have watched past seasons to sink your teeth into the dark, dystopian satire.

'My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman' season 5 part 2
"My Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman" is hosted by the legendary late-night talk show host, who ironically also needs no introduction.
In this Emmy-nominated interview show, Letterman sits down with a guest so famous, you probably know who they are, including presidents of countries, NBA stars and more. Over 60 minutes, he and the guest engage in a long-form conversation, interspersed with in-the-field pre-taped segments.
This week, his guest is none other than WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark, who certainly needs no introduction. Don't miss it.

'The Clubhouse: A Year with the Red Sox'
"The Clubhouse: A Year with the Red Sox" is a new, immersive sports documentary that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at last year's MLB season for the Boston team.
Directed by four-time Emmy winner Greg Whiteley, this eight-part docuseries will take you through the ups and downs of the 2024 season, including some uncomfortable moments inside and outside the Red Sox locker room.
Does this story have a happy ending? I won't spoil that for you. Just know that despite winning a World Series title in 2018, the Red Sox finished last in the AL East in three of the past four seasons, so tensions are running high.

'Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing'
Influencers are a part of everyday life now, and there's a large contingent of child influencers, or "kidfluencers," putting out content regularly to make it big.
One such kidfluencer was YouTube sensation Piper Rockelle, who, starting at age 8, built a YouTube channel that ultimately amassed millions of followers and brought in over $500,000 in monthly revenue.
But behind the scenes, her mother/manager or "momager," Tiffany, was a tyrant and used questionable behavior and manipulation tactics on Piper's kidfluencer friends, known as "The Squad."
In "Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing," directors Jenna Rosher and Kief Davidson dive into the almost cult-like persona of Tiffany and all the disturbing allegations regarding her behavior. Don't miss the three-part investigative docuseries this Wednesday.

'How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)' season 4
This German coming-of-age black comedy has been a hit with audiences across its three seasons so far, averaging a 90% "fresh" audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Now, "How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)" is back for its fourth and final season.
For those who aren't familiar with the show, it's set in a fictional town in Northwest Germany and stars Maximilian Mundt as Moritz Zimmerman, an outcast high school nerd who starts a business with his friend Lenny (Danilo Kamperidis) to try and win back Moritz's ex Lisa (Lena Klenke).
That business? Selling ecstasy online. Things quickly spiral out of control, though, and Moritz ends up in prison. Now, he's finally out, and he's looking to get his life back — and his best friend — by starting a new business. But things don't go according to plan.
Watch on Netflix starting April 8
'North of North'
If you know me, you know I'm no stranger to the goodness that is the Canadian sitcom. "Shoresy" has been one of my favorite comedies of the year so far.
So when I saw that another Canadian comedy series was coming to streaming, I had to check it out. And I'm glad I did, because by all accounts "North by North" is worth watching.
This show stars Anna Lambe as Siaja, a young Inuk woman who lives further North than "the furthest place North you've ever been" in the heart of Arctic Canada.
After a boating accident, she realizes her life needs a fresh start away from her husband Ting (Kelly William). But turns out its hard to be newly single when everyone in your small town knows literally everyone else.

'Everybody's Live with John Mulaney'
"Everybody's Live with John Mulaney" has been a mixed bag so far. The first episode was mostly good, but the subsequent two episodes failed to live up to the magic of "Everbody's in L.A," minus a killer performance from the band Mannequin Pussy.
But I've been watching nonetheless, and I'm glad I did because last week's episode was totally off the rails ... mostly in a good way. It also proved that the right mix of guests makes all the difference.
We don't yet know who's coming on this week or what will be discussed. But it'll be tough to top Mulaney's Bone Thugs-n-Harmony story from last week. You'll have to tune in to see what happens.
Watch it live on Netflix April 9 at 10 p.m. ET
